Watch the movement, then use the book-specific cues below to check your technique.
The book directs a step into a forward lunge while pressing the bar overhead, followed by a push back to the starting stance as the bar lowers to the chest.
Video note: Modified demonstration: the video shows the lunge followed by the press as the athlete stands. It does not show the book’s simultaneous lunge-and-press timing or the return of the bar to the chest.
Keep weight through the front heel and maintain a neutral spine throughout the lunge and press.
Book difficulty: 3 (the book’s exercise rating). Learn the component movements and choose a load suited to your technique.
